Abstract
Normally, one associates ‘the manifest image’ with the perspective of the unreflective common man and ‘the scientific image’ with the perspective of natural science. It is worthwhile reconsidering this dichotomy of images because it suggests the radically misleading idea that the world of natural science is more basic than the ordinary and everyday world of the common man. Natural science depicts, or will one day depict, the true ontology of the world, thereby replacing, reducing or flat out eliminating common sense notions, disqualifying them from counting as genuine explanatory postulates or referring terms. Or so the dichotomy of the images suggests.
